Subject: [PATCH] zram: propagate error to user
When we initialized zcomp with single, we couldn't change
max_comp_streams without zram reset but current interface doesn't
show any error to user and even it changes max_comp_streams's value
without any effect so it would make user very confusing.
This patch prevents max_comp_streams's change when zcomp was
initialized as single zcomp and emit the error to user(ex, echo).
